I hrought with me the bundle of castoff clothing. "I'm sending it down to Vi at the Club," I eXplained to Hanbury. "She's small and plump, and she can use it all when it's cut down, and she's lost al- most all her stuff in one bombing or an- h " ot er. "I'll let the coolie take it," said Han- bury. "There's plenty of time before the l " - next a arm. Thus philosophically we whiled away the time until the planes came over. I remember that raid quite clearly, since it was my last. I remember how we walked all around the long veranda, waiting and wondering from which di- rection they would come this time. The first flight arrived. They flew across the short width of the city, dropping their bombs on the crest of the hill which formed the backbone of Chungking, and in the quivering air the columns of dust and black smoke rose slowly out of the quiet ruins. Another flight came over as we watched and flew closer and closer to the piece of sky above our hill. "Look out!" someone shouted. I dived for the floor, as did everyone else, and in the river beneath us, a hun- dred yards away, two or three bombs sent up fountains of muddy water. It was over again. \Ve lifted our heads cautiously from the floor and stared at each other. Then we laughed. Then we got up, and called for drinks, and felt our knees quake. The all-clear went at three o'clock. Hanbury told me there was to be a farewell party for me that night. I was pleased, of course, and even flattered, though I knew it was not so much a compliment to me as an excuse for celebration. The locally made vodka went a long way in cocktails and we enjoyed parties tremendously, though the personnel and the conversation were always the same. The chief problem this time was the usual one: some of our guests would have to come sever- al miles, and at the end of the party it would be awkward to retrace those miles, over the hills or the river. All the spare beds in the houses in our neighbor- hood were requisitioned on such an occa- sion. In our house we knew that nobody else could be put up; we were crammed to the doors already. The host made that clear. Anyone who asked if he could spend the night was to be told so. "Say that they're welcome to a corner of the floor," advised Hanbury. "That's all h h .
